Additional quotes by George Santayana

A child educated only at school is an uneducated child.

The world is not respectable; it is mortal, tormented, confused, deluded forever; but it is shot through with beauty, with love, with glints of courage and laughter; and in these, the spirit blooms timidly, and struggles to the light amid the thorns.

Everything in nature is lyrical in its ideal essence, tragic in its fate, and comic in its existence.

The same battle in the clouds will be known to the deaf only as lightning and to the blind only as thunder. - George Santayana
